Within the context of the first Barcelona Gallery Weekend, Latitudes curates 'Composiciones' (Compositions), a programme of interventions by artists active in the Barcelona art scene, commissioned to develop site-specific temporary installations and one-off performances responding to singular locations – sites significant for their architecture or their history.
Organised by Asia Art Archive Public Programmes Curator Ingrid Chu, the exhibition explores the international phenomenon of the 'art book bag' featuring 'the things that go in them'—art publications, magazines, and related ephemera—alongside a vast array of these popular totes in the AAA Library.
Symposium participants: In the Shadow of the Hand, Sacha Kahir, Caleb Waldorf, Max Andrews of Latitudes, Angeliki Roussou, WHW (What, How and For Whom?).
Accompanying the exhibition The Shock of Victory, this day-long symposium allows for a timely re-consideration of the complexities of the relations between alternative and established (art) institutions that might have been sparked by political moments such as the Scottish Independence Referendum of 2014. Can we think of a new artistic landscape that might have been formed?
Since last Spring our home page features a monthly 'cover story' focusing on an artwork, artist, book, site or trip related to our curatorial practice and accompanied by a short text.
September features the World Famous Giant Camera in San Francisco, visited as part of the Incidents of Travel itinerary proposed by the artist Amy Balkin.
